I Fall to Pieces

I try not to blog about the homestate team, the LSU Tigers. I rarely know enough about what I am talking about to make any sense and maintain any sort of respect that could be built up with my inane ramblings about Ricky Williams and random news events. But Christ, its been quite a while since one play has ruined an entire weekend.

Let me paint a picture of a great day. Watching the LSU/Arkansas game at a bar chocked full of HD television and $5 pitchers. We had pizza delivered to the bar, and I wish I could tell you all out in Internet-land that was an isolated incident. All in all, a great start to what could be a great day. Until the fucking Tigers pissed their National Championship away with a boat load of help from God's Official Freakshow®, Darren McFadden. This guy sold me on himself and it didn't even take his car to help. But his car is amazing.

This Thing Gets Great Gas Mileage

When that pass was intercepted in the end zone at the end of the 3rd overtime, I have rarely been in a place that was so loud become so quiet in an instant. I have no excuses for LSU. If they wanted it enough they should have stepped up to the plate and taken it. One thing I have been thinking about are the poor bastards who actually end up winning the NC. Some pundits are going to devalue their win by pointing out the fact that there hasn't been one clear number one or even number 4 team all year. To take a page out of Nick Saban's metaphor book, its sort of like who's left after Hiroshima: they might not be the best out of what was there 15 minutes ago, but they are left, so someone's got to be mayor.

Personally, I am going for West Virginia now. Last year I had a class on Thursday nights. I never went because we got into Big East football on Thursday nights. This year hasn't been the watershed year last was for the conference, but West Virginia has maintained their level of play with the amazing Pat White and Steve Slaton. They are almost a lock for New Orleans and I wish them all the luck in the world.

In conclusion, all coaches wishing to submit their resume regarding the head coaching position for the Louisiana State University Tigers Football team can mail them to:

LSU Athletics Department
P.O. Box 25095
Baton Rouge, LA 70894-5095



Thanks Guys, See You In Ann Arbor
